In the Ark Continent, it wasn't as if no one had studied the Black Wasteland before. About a thousand years ago, there was a very famous wood element mage who joined forces with several water element mages and alchemists, as well as several elves who were very knowledgeable about plants. They researched the Black Wasteland and wanted to change the soil of the Black Wasteland, turning it into the continent's largest granary.
But after twenty years of research, they still couldn't make the Black Wasteland grow a single blade of grass. In the end, they had no choice but to give up.
Since then, no one studied the Black Wasteland anymore. People thought that there was no value in studying it, and that it was just a waste of time.
In fact, this had a lot to do with the basic situation of the Ark Continent. Although there were a lot of people in the Ark Continent, the land was very large. There was also a lot of arable land, so there was no need to worry about food. Because of this, the people of the Ark Continent didn't pay much attention to agriculture.
But because the continent was relatively peaceful in recent years, there weren't any major wars, and the population was growing very fast. Because of this, some small countries were having food problems. But because the Five Great Empires of the continent had good weather, there weren't any problems, so it didn't attract widespread attention.
And don't forget that there were slaves in the Ark Continent. The price of food had increased, but this wasn't a big deal. As long as the slaves ate less, they wouldn't starve to death.
Of course, the slave owners wouldn't go out and say that their slaves were having less food. In fact, the slave owners wouldn't talk about their slaves. They would rather talk about women, or the moon, but they wouldn't talk about their slaves. Because of this, the people of the continent simply didn't know that the food crisis was getting closer and closer.
Now that the continent was peaceful, the economy of each country was developing very well. Because of this, prices had been rising. But those in power didn't know that although the economy of the country was rising, the living standards of the commoners didn't improve. On the contrary, it had decreased a lot, not to mention the slaves.
As the country's economy developed, the prices of goods naturally rose. While the prices of goods rose, the income of the commoners didn't increase. This made many commoners unable to feed themselves. Without food to eat, more people became slaves, and social conflicts intensified.
Of course, Merlin didn't know about these things. She only knew that food on the continent was very expensive. If Zhao Hai could really turn the Black Waste into fertile land, then it would be impossible for the Buda clan to not develop.
Zhao Hai looked at Merlin's excited face and smiled. "Yes, Grandma Merlin, this is an ability I got. However, I can only transform ten mu of land a day. So, you have to organize them in the afternoon to measure as much land as possible. We'll start with one thousand mu of land. We won't be able to handle any more than that, so we'll stop after one thousand mu of land."
Merlin excitedly nodded and said, "Yes, Young Master. I'll immediately arrange it." Merlin was about to leave after saying that.
Zhao Hai quickly stopped her and said, "Alright, Grandma Merlin, don't be so anxious. You can go after eating. Right, we can't measure too much, and we can't go too far from the castle. We can't let outsiders discover this ability of mine. Otherwise, with our Buda clan's current ability, we won't be able to stop those guys."
Merlin was also a person who had seen the world. When she heard Zhao Hai say this, she calmed down. She nodded and said, "Alright, I understand, Young Master. Leave this matter to me."
Whether it was Zhao Hai or Merlin, they didn't notice that Meg, who was standing behind Merlin, was now looking at Zhao Hai with eyes full of infatuation.
Before, as long as Zhao Hai appeared, Meg would lower her head. But now, she raised her head and carefully looked at Zhao Hai. She didn't have the same dispirited appearance that she had when she saw Zhao Hai.
Meg had grown up with Adam. Because Adam was two years older than her, the two had played together since childhood. At that time, Meg was Adam's little tail. Wherever Adam went, Meg would follow. If Meg was bullied by other children, Adam would fight for her. Therefore, she had a good impression of this young master brother of hers since she was young.
But as they slowly grew older, they slowly became more sensible. Meg knew that Adam was her Young Master. She couldn't call Adam brother because she was a girl. Adam also didn't want to play with her, so she was very sad.
As they grew older, Adam got to know a lot of aristocratic Young Master friends. It was also from that time that Adam started to learn bad things. Moreover, he seemed to have forgotten about her, his childhood playmate.
As they grew older, Adam became more and more unreasonable. Meg, on the other hand, became more and more beautiful and sensible. She also showed good magic talent. She and Adam walked on two completely different paths. But Meg became more and more unhappy. Seeing Adam fooling around every day, she wanted to stop him, but it was useless. Adam didn't even listen to her grandfather's words, let alone her. How she wished that time could go back to the past, to their childhood. That Young Master brother who would play with her every day, who would fight for her, would return to her side.
It was said that a young girl's feelings were always poetic. Merlin was just like that. She had always hoped that one day Adam would return to his original appearance, but reality had mercilessly shattered her dreams. Adam actually wanted to rape her.
When Adam walked towards her with a lewd smile, she felt as if her world had collapsed with a loud bang. Those beautiful memories of the past had left her. Although she had escaped a calamity, she felt as if she had lost her soul. Her world had lost its color from then on. Every day passed in a muddle-headed state.
It was at this time that disaster arrived. The Buda clan reached a moment of life and death. She saw with her own eyes those people who had lived with her since childhood leave the Buda clan one by one. She saw with her own eyes the place where she had lived since childhood being taken away by the King. She saw Adam being fed the Water of Nothingness and then falling into a coma. She saw her home disappear in a short period of time.
Then they went to the Black Waste, to this land of death. But Adam didn't wake up. He saw his grandparents busy themselves day after day. In order for the Buda clan to continue, they constantly worked hard. They were like people who were about to drown, making their final struggle.
Meg was only a young girl who hadn't experienced anything. The sudden successive blows made her somewhat unable to bear it. If it weren't for her grandparents still accompanying her, she might have already been unable to bear it and committed suicide.
But not long after they arrived at the Black Waste, Zhao Hai came. Merlin discovered that the young master had changed. He was no longer the young master who didn't understand anything and only knew how to cause trouble. He had become mature, and knew how to work hard for this family.
First the magic radish, then the blue eyed rabbit, and now the black earth improvement. She suddenly discovered that the young master had become a good kind of stranger. But he was slowly merging with the perfect image of the young master in her heart.
Meg discovered that there seemed to be something on Adam's body that was attracting her. The temperament on his body was no longer that frivolous and frightening temperament. Instead, it had become a kind of calm and natural temperament, making people unnaturally want to get close to him.
She liked to see Adam's self-confident appearance. She also liked to see his gentle smile. She also liked that unnatural expression on Adam's face when he saw her. There was some guilt in his expression. Unconsciously, the young girl's heart was once again tied to Adam.
Merlin didn't notice Meg's change. After he finished talking with Zhao Hai, he immediately went to the kitchen. This also made Meg come back to her senses. She immediately lowered her head and followed Merlin to the kitchen with a red face, bringing out the food.
They still ate together, but today Merlin and the others ate very quickly. They finished the food in two or three mouthfuls. Then Merlin and Meg immediately went outside. It looked like they were preparing to organize people to measure the land.
Zhao Hai looked at Merlin's appearance and could only smile helplessly. He could understand Merlin's feelings. Merlin and the others had always thought that the Black Waste was a land of death. Now that someone suddenly told her that he could turn a land of death into a land of life, this was like someone telling a terminally ill patient that his illness could be cured. How could they not be excited?
Zhao Hai slowly finished his lunch. Only then did he lead Blockhead and Rockhead out of the castle. As soon as they arrived outside the castle, they discovered that Merlin and the others had already led the slaves to measure the land.
Although the slaves didn't have any skills, they had cultivated soil before. If they were asked to do other things, they might not be able to do it. However, if they were asked to measure the land or cultivate the land, they were completely competent.
The ten mu of land was immediately measured. Merlin and the others didn't go to measure the land. Instead, they all fixed their eyes on Zhao Hai to see if he could really improve the land.
Zhao Hai looked at the ten mu of land and was stunned. He had seen how big ten mu of land was in the space. However, whether it was planting or harvesting, he didn't need to manage it. Now that he was asked to improve these ten mu of land, he really didn't know how to do it. Could he still control the spatial soil and spatial water after leaving the space?
When he was in the space just now, he was only focused on calculating the proportion and forgot about this matter. What should he do now? Could it be that he had to sprinkle the spatial soil and spatial water bit by bit on the ground?
Just as Zhao Hai was anxiously walking in circles, the space suddenly prompted again. [Do you want to improve the land in front of you? Yes/No.] Following the voice, a projection of a screen appeared in front of him. On it were two buttons. One was written 'Yes' and the other was' No '.
Zhao Hai was overjoyed. He immediately reached out and pressed the 'Yes' button. However, he found that his hand went straight through the screen. He didn't touch anything. The screen and the two buttons were still there. Instead, he seemed to have become a madman who was dancing with joy.
